attractive repulsive






"Snow-Shine Morning" is very attractive because one of the most beautiful things to ever see is a tree covered in snow the morning after a snow storm. This picture reminds me of the perfect Christmas, a white Christmas. When blue and white are mixed together they make something that looks normal come alive and have beauty. That is what is happening in this picture.




The red flowers and the white snow i believe draw the eye in. It is attractive. It has black- blacks and white whites. We weren't suppose to use flowers in this, but it just works. It is very beautiful.










In my opinion this picture is ugly. The rusted doors and the blue/ white wall of the factory make the eye not want to look at it. I centered the building to add to the repusiveness. Even after I used the color enhancement tool on the picture it still didn't make it beautiful.




This is cool but repulsive photograph. The gray and stormy clouds bring a dark feeling to the viewer. The pole makes the viewer feel small because the picture is taken from a worms eye view. You can't read the sign on the telephone pole, but it says "Warning", and with this picture the warning is telling you that your eyes are going to want to move onto other photographs not because it's a bad picture but because it isn't attractive.

















I have studied a little bit on the photographer named Ted Szukalski. He is into taking similar photographs as me. Pictures about life, beauty, obstacles and nature. He has taken many pictures. He has one of an ocean sunrise, Terrigal Sunrise, and it is straight up the perfect sight. The waves are roling into shore, the rocks reflecting the suns light and the colors of the sky illuminate the scene. He also took a picture of a women trying to get to the other side of a road, How to get to the other side?, but she can not. The traffic is so busy that she can't even step on the road. The viewer witnesses her anger because she throws her hands into the air and slams them on her head. Also he has one of a morning sunrise day where life guards are getting ready to watch and protect peoples lives while ther swimming on the beach. Lifesaver flags, shows how he care about life and how he expresses it in his work.

I have to agree with Eric, the door with the rust has very dark tones in it and makes the door look like it's rusting away. You should have gotten a closer shot of the door to show more detail of the rust and have more of the colors show up. But I think you have a very nice start=]

The door and rust is a strong photo, as is the tree image with the sky. I feel the the flowers and telephone pole could've been lit better (or lightened up in photoshop). Perhaps that the sign on the telephone pole could've clone stamped out.
